not all my pets are out right now, lol. when i find them all and let the dekays digest ill try to take a group picture. the funny thing is that one of the cats likes all the reptiles and the hamster. btw, is 6g a good weight for a garter that big?

6 grams? Are you sure you are right about that? Do you mean 60 grams? You said she was a foot long?

[DMilms]

why? way to light?

[EasternGirl]

Well...I just weighed Hermes...he is about a foot long and he is about 10 grams. But your snake did not look really skinny in the picture that you showed us...so I guess that's fine.

more pics and vent update- she musked on me and her entire extretory thing came out, it was weird, now its not crusty but it seems like some tiny amount of tissue is hanging out. she was fresh out of a bath in these pics. i have a few of her, a few of top, side, and bottom views of vent. btw, she really HAS gained weight b/c she wouldnt eat for 2 months until 2 weeks ago, so i hope she is fine.

btw, could she have a vent inflammation?

[EasternGirl]

It is not abnormal for that to happen...for the genitalia to come out when they musk. I just saw my female do the same thing the other day. It does look as though she may have a little infection at the vent area. Could you get some Hibiclens or Betadine and some neosporin from a pharmacy? Where are you David? Are you in the United States now?

It doesn't look like anything at this point.
Looks like a minor irritation but it will probably clear up after the next shed.
Something to keep an eye on but not to worry about too much.
Even a little ointment or Vaseline which will keep it moist until it clears up.

NJ, and i have neosporin here, should i just put some on a qtip onto her?
also does bacitracin work? btw, its kinda late, so just wait till tomorrow or do it now?
also it seems like the crust went away, and it looks better. am i right about that? and does she look healthy too?
thank you, david
edit- should i put vaseline or neosporine or nothing onto it?

I would say it looks better and the crusty is gone.
I would say stay with the neo. A q-tip is fine as is your finger.
Rubbing ointment on a snake's butt is just part of keeping the little scrubs.

Bacitracin is good. Yes..put some on a Q-tip and put a little on the vent area. I would put a little on there everyday until it looks completely better. If you can go to a pharmacy tomorrow...buy some Hibiclens...it is an antimicrobial cleanser. Put a couple of drops of that in a cup of water and put a Q-tip in it and dab it on the vent area...then put the bacitracin on. Do that everyday...maybe twice or three times a day until it gets better. It does look better but it still looks a little infected. I would go ahead and put some bacitracin or neosporin on it now...they are very similar...I think bacitracin is a little better. Other than the vent, she looks very healthy.
